Nature is an absolutely wonderful thing, and we can find humour as well as beauty all around us.
I would like you to write a poem to one of the pictures below.
I am posting two contests, almost identical, but with different images,
The pictures alone make me smile, but I want your 'take' on the image you choose.
Option 1 
Option 2 
Option 3 
Option 4 
Option 5 
Option 6 
Option 7 
Option 8 
Option 9 
Ok, down to the Rules:
1, No sticky caps in your poem
2. No Dirty pretty posts
3. No profanity (an odd word might be acceptable if warranted)
4. Any style, but my preference leans towards meter and Rhyme.
5. Please double check for grammar and spelling errors
6. Please put in your author notes which option you have chosen.
7. Lastly let your imagination run free and have fun.
Awards
First place Gold trophy and 450 points
Second place Silver trophy and 350 points
Third place Bronze trophy and 200 points
One honorable mention will be awarded.

Thankyou to everyone for sharing the smiles with me.
